I was really excited to try this tea because it was grown in Mynamar, otherwise known as Burma. What can I say, I’m a sucker for unusual terroirs. Packaged in the standard silky pyramid tea bag, the leaves were fairly dark in color for a green tea. The taste was vegetal yet with mellow with faint fruity notes and just a hint of smoke. Although it was fairly astringent I did not find it unpleasant at all. Sometimes life calls for an easy sipping tea and that is exactly what this one was. An unobtrusive, warming cup of tea can often be just what the doctor ordered. Although not certified organic, the packaging states that the tea is grown without chemicals. My tin will soon be following me to the office so that I can share it with my co-workers. In addition to being a family owned company, +Shanvalley is based in my home state of New Jersey. I’ve got several other reviews of teas from them so keep an eye out for those in the coming weeks.
